¹³Now some also of the Jewish exorcists, who went about, attempted to invoke over them that had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying: I conjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth.

¹⁴And there were certain men, seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, that did this.

¹⁵But the wicked spirit, answering, said to them: Jesus I know: and Paul I know. But who are you?

¹⁶And the man in whom the wicked spirit was, leaping upon them and mastering them both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

¹⁷And this became known to all the Jews and the Gentiles that dwelt a Ephesus. And fear fell on them all: and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

¹⁸And many of them that believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds

¹⁹And many of them who had followed curious arts brought together their books and burnt them before all. And, counting the price of them, they found the money to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.

²⁰So mightily grew the word of God and was confirmed.
